A history of disability and art education / by Penketh, Claire,author.(CARDINAL)899277; Atkinson, Dennis,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)899278;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Drawing on recent theoretical frameworks from critical disability studies and art education including normalcy, ableism, dis/ability and Crip theory, this book offers an analysis of the conceptualisation of ability in art education and its relationship with disability. Drawing on the work of Yamamoto in Japan, Cizek and Lowenfeld in Austria, Ruskin and Richardson in England and Dewey and Eisner in the United States, it critically examines the influence of ideas such as the dominance of vision and visuality; the emergence of psychological perspectives; the Child Art movement; the implications of assessment regimes; and the relevance of art education as a critical social practice on the production of dis/ability. Offering a sustained inquiry into the differential values attributed to learners and their work and the implications of this for framing our understanding of dis/ability in art education, this book shows that although art educators have frequently advocated for the universal appeal and importance of art education, they have done so within historical contexts that have produced and determined problematic ideas regarding dis/ability. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, art in education, art history and education studies"--

What is not understood, needs to be said exploring the complexities of Black girls / by Leake, Tempest.;
Dr. Tempest Leake’s work "What is not Understood, Needs to be Said: Exploring the Complexities of Black Girls" is a book that is genuine in its display of the professional and personal experiences of the author, and her counterparts in the journey of Black girlhood. She identifies the complexities of Black girls as it relates to their hair, their relationships with their parents, relationships with peers, and how they navigate systems that should be in place to nurture and educate them. Dr. Leake displays the Black girls’ navigation through life not only through the lens of struggle, but with adaption and triumph. Dr. Leake seeks to educate the reader on how to relate and support Black girls; as well as give power to their unique experiences. To understand us, is to know us. This book is part of the steps it will take to help you get to know us. Until society understands the obstacles that Black girls face there will not be change.

Art and the power of placement / by Newhouse, Victoria.(CARDINAL)197031;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 284-296) and index.The complexities of context : how place affects perception -- Art or archaeology : how display defines the object -- Jackson Pollock : how installation can affect modern art -- Placing art.Where and how an artwork is presented can enhance it or detract from it, or even alter its meaning. Depending on the display, painting and sculpture can denote a religious, political, decorative, or educational significance, as well as aesthetic and commercial value. Just how powerful the effect of placement can be is demonstrated in this book by in-depth case studies and comparisons of art installations around the world and from antiquity to the present, all richly illustrated. Not limited to museums, Newhouse branches out to explore noteworthy displays of art in commercial galleries and in private homes and gardens, as well as in a number of unusual venues. She concludes with some guidelines for display that apply as much to the hanging of a picture in a private interior as to the installation of a museum show.--From publisher description.

American kids are living in a world of ongoing public debates about race, daily displays of racial injustice, and for some, an increased awareness surrounding diversity and inclusion. In this heated context, sociologist Margaret A. Hagerman zeroes in on affluent, white kids to observe how they make sense of privilege, unequal educational opportunities, and police violence. In fascinating detail, Hagerman considers the role that they and their families play in the reproduction of racism and racial inequality in America."--
